Neuroscientist Ranks Every Drug By How Hard They Are to Quit! Tier List Part 2

About the conversation

🧠 THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF THE GIANT'S SHOULDER FAMILY Here is the full, ad free version of my Tier List Round 2 with David Nutt. Professor David Nutt is a neuropsychopharmacologist, former UK chief drug adviser, and the author of Drugs Without the Hot Air, Drink?, Cannabis and Psychedelics. He built the first evidence-based Drug Harm Scale, ran the world's first LSD brain scan, and is now engineering hangover-free alcohol out of GABA science. The first tier list drew an overwhelming response, so this one goes deeper. Nutt ranks twelve more drugs on the same harm scale, taking on the substances viewers demanded we cover. Expect to learn: - Worse Than Heroin: why benzodiazepine withdrawal can be more dangerous than coming off opiates - Indigenous Polypharmacy: how Amazonian brewers solved a pharmacokinetic problem centuries before chemistry existed - Vaping vs Smoking: why the nicotine isn't the thing that kills you - When Bans Backfire: how prohibiting nitrous oxide made it more dangerous, not less - Speed Is Not Meth: the molecular and historical difference between two drugs people treat as one GS EPISODES MENTIONED David Nutt - Neuroscientist Ranks Every Drug By How Hard They Are to Quit!
